What have you guys found to be the best "flight computer" app for a smart phone or tablet? Ive tried using iGlide for the iPhone (basic version), but it doesn't seem to have the functionality of a true flight computer where you can input a task, turn points, etc. Do I just need to upgrade to the next version, or are there better options out there? I'm also considering using an iPad for a digital display, but again am wondering what software to use.

You need at least the advanced version of iGlide to to tasks and routing, and the Pro version if you want all the turnpoint and statistic features. It is then a fully featured flight computer. I have, and have flown with, XCSoar, SYM, iGlide, Winpilot, Winpilot Live for iOS, and a few others. I prefer iGlide as it has a modern UI. I've not tried Tophat, but had it demonstrated to me - it looks pretty much like a skin on XCSoar.
